Poverty & Child Development

                By: Erinn Daniels
               Dr. Melba Fletcher
     Nova Southeastern University
Poor Children
• Across the nation, many children sit in
  classrooms with empty stomachs,
  clouded minds of despair and the
  inability to cope with the perils of
  being poor or “socio-economically
  challenged
Poor Children
• According to Columbia University’s
  National Center for Children in Poverty
  (2009), almost 14 million children
  reside in households below the federal
  poverty level of $22,050 for a family
  size that includes four people. More
  specifically, 19% of children in the
  United States are considered poor.
Affects of Poverty on
             Development
•   Learning Disabilities
•   Developmentally Delayed
•   Low-Self Esteem
•   Mental Health Issues
•   Encounter Substance & Physical Abuse
•   Anti-social Behavior including bullying
    others, being cruel, destroying the property
    of others, cheating or telling lies
My Personal Life Experiences
•   I grew up in middle class family
•   Nice home & vehicles
•   Participated in extracurricular activities
•   Fine clothes
•   Field trips
•   No physical or emotional abuse
•   Honor student & attended college
My Siblings’ Life Experiences
• Single mother household
• Almost 50 residences throughout their
  childhood, including boarding houses
• Repossessed vehicles
• Lacked warm clothes in winter
• Robbed & stole
• Used to be gifted in school
• Never attended college
Dr. Ruby Payne on Poverty
According to Dr. Ruby Payne (2010), a former teacher
  and principal and currently an expert on the effects
  of poverty on children, poverty impacts the child’s
  ability to learn, work habits, and the ability to make
  effective decisions.

People that live in poverty are always in survival mode
  and often feel that obtaining an education is too
  far-fetched of a solution for their current living
  conditions.
Dr. Ruby Payne on Poverty
Dr. Payne’s first book, A Framework for Understanding
  Poverty, is used by many educators to help
  understand children who live in poverty and how
  they cope with their situations.

Her book provides real intense look at the hidden rules
  that govern social class and impedes on teacher’s
  ability to reach children.
One Can Rise Above Poverty
While I believe that poverty is not the sole predictor of
  one’s ability to be successful in the future, children
  from deprived backgrounds already have negative
  cards stacked against them.

Students need good support system and strong frame
  of mind to rise above the obstacles and reach fullest
  potential.

Poverty & child development

  • 1. Poverty & Child Development By: Erinn Daniels Dr. Melba Fletcher Nova Southeastern University
  • 2. Poor Children • Across the nation, many children sit in classrooms with empty stomachs, clouded minds of despair and the inability to cope with the perils of being poor or “socio-economically challenged
  • 3. Poor Children • According to Columbia University’s National Center for Children in Poverty (2009), almost 14 million children reside in households below the federal poverty level of $22,050 for a family size that includes four people. More specifically, 19% of children in the United States are considered poor.

  • 7. Dr. Ruby Payne on Poverty According to Dr. Ruby Payne (2010), a former teacher and principal and currently an expert on the effects of poverty on children, poverty impacts the child’s ability to learn, work habits, and the ability to make effective decisions. People that live in poverty are always in survival mode and often feel that obtaining an education is too far-fetched of a solution for their current living conditions.
  • 8. Dr. Ruby Payne on Poverty Dr. Payne’s first book, A Framework for Understanding Poverty, is used by many educators to help understand children who live in poverty and how they cope with their situations. Her book provides real intense look at the hidden rules that govern social class and impedes on teacher’s ability to reach children.
  • 9. One Can Rise Above Poverty While I believe that poverty is not the sole predictor of one’s ability to be successful in the future, children from deprived backgrounds already have negative cards stacked against them. Students need good support system and strong frame of mind to rise above the obstacles and reach fullest potential.
